01 · The Challenge

Why building a Legal from scratch is hard

Building a Legal Practice Management System from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing legal-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

02 · What's Included

Everything your Legal needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready Legal with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Matter management with client, case type, and team assignment
Time tracking and billable hour logging
Legal document management with version control and e-signature
Court deadline and statute of limitations calendar
Client portal for secure document sharing and status updates
Invoice generation from time entries with trust accounting
Conflict of interest check on new matters
Practice analytics: realization rate, utilization, WIP value

03 · Architecture

How it's built

The generated Legal follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for legal workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated legal modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all legal entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live legal status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

04 — Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for Legal

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

  • matters (id, client_id, title, type, status, open_date, close_date, responsible_attorney_id, budget, workspace_id)
  • time_entries (id, matter_id, user_id, date, hours, billing_rate, amount, description, status, invoice_id)
  • legal_documents (id, matter_id, title, type, version, storage_url, signed_at, signers jsonb, created_by)
  • invoices (id, matter_id, client_id, period, line_items jsonb, subtotal, discount, tax, total, status, paid_at)

09 · FAQ

Common questions about building a Legal

A matter is a legal case or project. Each matter belongs to a client and has a type (litigation, corporate, real estate), a status (active, closed), and an assigned attorney and team. All time, documents, and billing is tracked at the matter level.
